I don't think we should do that. I'd rather go for disabling QT_NO_COMPAT and QT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE
for now. That gives far more source compatibility and will give us a running system much
faster (with less work) . (it will enable QList/QDict, etc.)

QRegExp is fully source compatible if you don't define QT_NO_CPMPAT.
